Lianne La Havas Dazzles In Her New Tiny Desk Concert For NPR

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

It was only a matter of time until Lianne La Havas paid a visit to the NPR offices to take part in their Tiny Desk Concert series, but all those foregone conclusions in no way dim the final product. With only a piano and some sparse backing vocals backing her up, the young UK soul phenom was positively radiant, recreating songs like "What You Don't Do" and "Unstoppable." On the latter, three simple elements--piano, guitar, and La Havas's honey-sweet voice--gently waft within one another. You could travel the world over and experience all of life's joys, but honestly it might not get any better than this.

Pick up a copy of Blood on iTunes today and, then close all your other browser tabs and watch the full Tiny Desk Concert below.
